RPi3 - Pause and network drop on some mkvs

ShiftyBloke · June 11, 2018 at 8:50 PM

When streaming mkvs from my NAS, particularly those aired on a Sunday and watched on a Monday, I often get a pause where it sometimes then carries on.

When it doesn't the network is dropped and it takes a few minutes to re-establish resume the programme.

Has anyone seen this behaviour before?

Its over a gigabit network where 90% of files play without an issue.

Provide a Kodi debug log that demonstrates the problem.

I ran a test and played that episode, after a bit of time in as you can see the stream stalled and then resumed.

Go test a current milhouse release to see if the issue is resolved in K18 .. nothing is going to be investigated or fixed on Krypton now. If the issue still exists submit a *debug* log that exhibits the problem. Non-debug logs aren't useful.
